          If your AV or security suite scans your internet traffic to look for potential problems, there may be a chance that it's not working as should and it's given Opera wrong info about the download.

          Another possibility is that the computer is going into stand-by mode and cutting the connection.

          Anyway, I've just started the download to see if it completes here or not.

              Download finished fine here with the file having its correct file size. I even had to resume it a couple of times due to some crashes.

                  Windows Defender, that comes with Windows 10.

                  should i turn off antivirus everytime i download it?

                  Have you checked with AV off? did the download finished?

                      See this F.A.Q.

                      if i closed my browser and comeback again i will press resume download but it wont finish downloadin

                      It may be a different issue. I don't know if Opera can resume a download that was started at a previous session, never tested it.
